Because swindlers had been brought up, during dinner that night, Heizi again mentioned an incident of deception that had occurred in their own village.
The victims in this case were from a family with relatives working outside the village. As the Chinese New Year approached, which was a time for everyone to head home, a young man from this family had caught the swindler's eye on the train.
Soon after boarding the train, the young man struck up a conversation with someone, and they hit it off—naturally, that's nonsense, if a swindler wants to defraud someone, they surely have to earn their target's trust first.
The swindler on the train posed as a successful businessman, telling the young man that he was in the grain business.
